MentorHacks: Codefest and Skillshare

Are you interested in sharing skills you've learned via GDI Philly? Want to help others learn and brush up on your skills in a collaborative hackathon setting?

MentorHacks is a one day community codefest and skillshare framed around creating a space for experienced and inexperienced technologists of a variety of backgrounds to attend workshops on technology and mentorship and then collaborate to create projects based on a survey of the community and its needs.

If you're interested in attending, please RSVP on the official Mentorhacks page>>> (http://mentorhacks.eventbrite.com)

MentorHacks aims to be a welcoming and affirming space for people of a variety of backgrounds and experiences to create together.

At MentorHacks, you can attend workshops on web development or open data/data viz led by local technologists and collaborate with your fellow programmers on challenges surveyed from local community organizations. Light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
